How will Katarina work?

Katarina is one of the four reworked assasins. In our opinion she got the most notable changes to her kit. One of her biggest changes is, that she can now Shunpo (E) anywhere around a unit, instead of always behind it, like it was before. This jump is controlled by the mouse position relative to the target.

Her W works perfectly with her E, because she can place her dagger on which she can Shunpo on. This combination gives her more mobility then ever.

Here is her full kit, via Surrenderat20:

Bouncing Blade (Q):

No Cost

11/10/9/8/7 sec Cooldown

Katarina throws a Dagger, dealing [...]

Naptime leaves Tempo Storm Overwatch roster

Naptime has decided to leave his position at Tempo Storm Overwatch roster. Tempo Storm have revamped their Overwatch roster in the recent past. They merged two teams in the hopes of creating a well established team which can compete at the highest level. However the diverse culture amongst the player resulted in a communication gap amongst the players.

Naptime elaborates on the various issues plaguing the team as soon as it was formed. Most of it stems from the fact that the players ended up having a rift between them and could not work together to solve their issues. While this is Naptime’s point of view, it should be taken with a grain of salt as we have not yet heard [...]

How will the reworked Rengar work?

From all the reworked assassins, Rengar feels the most similiar to how he was back in Season 6. All of his abilities received some minor changes.

Bone Tooth necklace is still basilne and passive, but now only skills up to five. Like Kindred, Rengar has now his own unique HuD that displays the enemy champions. Each time Rengar kills a unique target, he gains a trophy and the enemy champions icon is blurried out. Each stack gives him an additional percentage of AD.

His passive ferocity now only stacks to four and is lost entirely when he leaves combat.

Savagery, Rengar’s Q is the most different, then it used to be. Instead of taking his knive and deal an [...]
